Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby bok choy

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots

  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 4 fresh lime wedges

Directions

  1. Remove any discolored outer leaves from baby bok choy, trim the bottom of the stalks, and slice in half lengthwise.

  2. Bring about 1 inch of water to a simmer over medium heat in a large pot with a steamer basket. Arrange bok choy in the basket, cut side up. Cover; steam until stems are tender, 4 to 7 minutes, depending on the size of the stalks. To check for tenderness, insert the tip of a knife into the stem.

  3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and shallots, cook for about 1 minute, stir in vinegar, and cook for 1 additional minute.

  4. Transfer bok choy to a plate, spoon garlic mixture over the top, and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with a wedge of lime.
